How to properly sync Sandy with Outlook 2007...
Just started using Sandy and it seems great. I tried sync-ing with Outlook but am having difficulty. As of now I have a blank "Sandy" calendar in Outlook but cannot add or edit it.
Apologies for my ignorance and lack of technical knowledge.
Thanks.

Inappropriate?Hi Cupcake 33821,
Unfortunately, you cannot edit a calendar to which you've subscribed in Outlook 2007. All you can do is view it. If you want to make changes, you need to use iwantsandy.com or the usual update techniques via email. Send "sandy, help" to Sandy for details on updating.
Best,
David

Inappropriate?When I subscribe to Sandy with Apple Mail, I get Sandy's todos as tasks. When I subscribe with Outlook 2007, I get the appointments but not the tasks. Is there something Sandy needs to do? or is this Outlook's fault? -
Inappropriate?Whether you use Apple's iCal or Windows Calendar 2007, the data feed from Sandy is the same. http://iwantsandy.com/xxxxx/list.ics (Where xxxx is your personal string of random letters.)
As far as I understand, the calendar feed from Sandy only contains those todos with a specific date. Todos without a date are filtered out. This is because Microsoft Outlook 2003 crashes when the *.ics feed has undated todo items in it.
Apple's iCal displays todo items in a little task list (if I understand correctly). This task list area is capable of displaying todos with and without a date. However, the calendar feed doesn't have any todos without a date, so this part of the functionality isn't used. Windows Calendar 2007 and Google Calendar do not have a separate task list, so they can only display todos that have a date. They add it to the calendar on the day it is scheduled.
The RSS feeds from Sandy are different. They don't filter out todos without dates. However, the RSS feed has a limited number of items in it. (about 25)
(I don't know what "Apple Mail" is. Is it iCal or is it a program that reads email or RSS feeds?)
